Whats your retirement plan? what age do you plan to retire by?

curious everyones take!


I was planning on diversifying into crypto, real estate multi family rentals, and build companies in the spare time.


I hope to retire by age 35 and by retire I mean have at least 100k/yr coming in without me needing to work


I just signed up for Ted Cruz's discord on wholesale real estate dealing, and have been listening too all the rich dad poor dad series, my parents were small business owners, and im the first in my family to have a salary job.


as for this week, I plan to buy some safemoon coin, listen to some more books, dive into getting my first wholesale real estate deal, and looking for properties to buy that can give me cash flow


(as well as hopefully landing a new job) lol

What age do you plan to retire by? (no longer having to work to survive)

$100k net or gross?

Of course I'm biased, but without knowing anything about you my advice would be:

1) Engage a financial advisor who is capable and willing to hold you accountable and call you out when you're being dumb. Develop a strong professional relationship.
2) Don't listen to Dave Ramsey. Math is the path to achieving your goal, not emotions.
3) Sooner or later you will need to secure life insurance for multiple reasons. The sooner the better, because the first data point considered by underwriters is age. If your deals get to a certain price point or annual frequency an institutional lender may actually require that life insurance to be a part of your net worth.
4) Don't quit your day job until your passive income exceeds your earned income, or until your passive income reaches whatever goal you have - whichever is the bigger number. But when you do, never look back! All-in!
5) "If you're parents think it's a bad idea, it might be a good idea. If your spouse thinks it's a bad idea, it might be a bad idea."

Term cannot be used in calculating your net worth, but there are kinds of term that can be used specifically for underwriting yourself (so to speak) when securing a major deal. Permanent LI is a factor in your net worth, and also has both living benefits and the death benefit. There are several kinds of permanent LI products. There is some very high level financial planning that wealthy people use to incorporate LI into their overall financial picture. The "rich person's Roth" is a key example, but really only makes sense when you get into it relatively early - before age 45, probably. 

Stay away from IUL. It's a terrible product on its face, mathematically fraudulent, and will probably be made illegal in many states soon anyway.

Start a small meme page ;) 

But in reality, I love Acorns for easy investing. Throw some extra money in it each month, forget about it, let it grow. Takes the stress out of picking stocks

Investing in real estate can be extremely rewarding. just don't get too caught up in the idea of "whole sale real estate", that's a load of garbage. Invest in something that is relatively turnkey so you can see cash flow immediately and not have to sink a bunch of cash into it just to get it up and running. I'm a mortgage banker/loan officer and you really just need to do the math and not be so emotionally invested.

We’re going to be living longer so I expect to work until I’m 70 - that gives me another 38 years to save for retirement and I think I’ll need that time to make sure I can retire.

The GREAT thing about working in sales is that we can basically choose whatever number we want here!  And as long as the world stays "capitalists" none of us will ever have to worry about becoming unemployed because we have the skill and experience of SELLING.  YEAH BITCHES YEAH!

I think retirement would be boring as F.  My plan is to spend my retirement coaching high school football, and maybe sit on a couple of boards.

that happened to my brother in law's father.

he worked in logistics in the City. worked his balls off his whole life. travelled all around the world for work but not much for pleasure. always planned to see and enjoy a bunch of places once he retired..  made a shit load of cash. 

my niece was born and he decided he would slow down. he was ~60. retired at 61 or 62. two months later diagnosed with ALS. about a year later - Adios. 

it was heartbreaking and eye opening. we do not decide when we go out. you can't take this money with ya. i don't think a single co-worker, or client showed up at his funeral.

Unfortunately this story can be quite common. Happened to one of my friend’s dad and is happening to another’s dad who was not only very healthy but extremely successful life - just about to slow down and he has brain cancer that can’t be cured.

Shooting to retire around 55, however a lot easier said than done. Doing my best to invest/save while also putting money away in a 401(k)

Would love to earn enough to buy a Golf Course and then play it all the time and have it generate side income for me. Maybe wishful thinking as I'm sure Golf Courses are not easy to maintain, but I'll be damned if I don't at least live near a Golf Course when I retire

Research the F.I.R.E. movement. Financially Independent Retire Early. 

My plans to retire early include: 

- Living below my means 
- Dividend Growth Investing 
- 401K 10-15% maxing out employer match every year 
- ROTH IRA Max out every year 
- Developing side hustles 
- Increase income in current role 

To me, retiring early seems like it can be accomplished if you are disciplined and stick to a solid plan consistently over time. There is no magic bullet, just positive financial habits!

Same here! I'm a FIRE follower with the same old boring formula.  Would ideally like a 3.5%-4% SWR at $2M!

as young and wealthy as possible. 5% goes into my 401k (my company doesn't match so any more would just be pointless), then I try to buy up as many rental properties as possible. I have 1 partner that we go in on cheap properties in the ghetto. Duplex's between 90-120k, all section 8 so rent is guaranteed by the government, 20% down on each. Each unit rents for ~600, mortgage is roughly 500 on the building, plus other various expenses you're looking at 600ish (it varies by building obviously). So roughly 600 in profit per building split 2 ways. Our goal is to get 10 houses this year, 15 the following (investment income + continuing investing personal income at the same rate), then keep going from there. 

Once that reached enough monthly income to replace my full time income I will no longer be working a full time job. 

I'm currently 25, at the rate I'm going I should be able to easily retire by 35 between real estate, stock options in my current company, and my other investment vehicles.
